Funko has no shortage of products for you animation fans, welcome the new Looney Tunes Funko Dorbz! And to part 36, the second to last of our London Toy Fair series!

It’s nice to finally see some Looney Tunes in the Funko line, these Dorbz come straight after the announcement of the Space Jam line. Those may not specifically be called the Looney Tunes line but they may as well be. Looking below makes me wonder, how will Bugs Bunny fit inside a regular Dorbz box? With Dorbz their heads are always pretty close to the top, so i suppose they may just have to make him smaller .. or create a special box for him. So what do you think? Overall i’m pretty excited for this line, but not excited for the inevitable large amount of Chases and Exclusives. Glam shots and info coming up!

Update for the 27th of March 2017: We now have their full glam shots and numbers! Along with images of the upcoming Chases too, one of Bugs Bunny (appropriately) holding a carrot. And then we have the awesome Super Daffy Duck! Also, yes, i am still wondering how Bugs Bunny’s ears fit inside that box.

Welcome to the part 37 and the last of our London Toy Fair series. Stay tuned, because the New York Toy Fair series coming up!

Yes, feel free to ignore my terrible pun in the title. What’s that, it’s the best pun ever? Oh why thank you! Kidding. The last in the London Toy Fair line are these Star Wars themed MyMojis, should we call that ending on a high note? I’m not the biggest fan of their MyMoji line, i purchased a few from the DC series not long ago and the quality was pretty bad. Are there any MyMoji collectors out there? What are your opinions on them. Seeing as they’re still making them they must have a few fans out there, if i had to pick my favorite MyMoji line would be the Disney ones. Glam shot and info coming up!

Get ready to slam with the upcoming Space Jam Funko POPs! Welcome to part 35 of our London Toy Fair series!

Here we have a classic film, well classic film and cartoon combined. I was around 10 when this came out back in 1996, and i still remember it being a huge deal at the time! It was marketed heavily, and from what comes to mind i certainly enjoyed it. What about you? You may notice there is no Michael Jordan POP, that’s not surprising, i’m sure getting a license for him is way too expensive for Funko. Regardless, i’m sure most are just interested in the animated characters anyway! This film is still the highest grossing basketball based movie of all time, which is surprising as it has hard competition, let me think of all those great basketball films hm.. kidding. Glam shots and info coming up!

Mourn your favorite characters with The Walking Dead In Memoriam Funko Mystery Minis! Welcome to part 34 of our London Toy Fair series!

In a similar vein to what they did 2 years ago at SDCC 2015, where they released an in memoriam set of characters from Game of Thrones. They are now doing the same with the Walking Dead, it basically means it’s a line of characters who have died in the show and they do them either in black and white or noir colors. As you can see below the colors are very toned down, what are your thoughts on series like this? Seeing that there is way more than 12 below it’s certainly not going to be a 1 in 12 situation, probably will have up to 1 in 36 rarities with exclusives on top. Glam shot and info coming up!

Here we have our first look at the second wave of Overwatch POPs, the incredibly popular game from Blizzard. It seems Blizzard can do no wrong as every game they make is a hit, i know i certainly enjoyed Diablo but haven’t played Overwatch .. yet. How about you? Are there any Overwatch fans here. They are pretty well suited to POPs for sure, as with any game that has a varied and interesting character base. Each character has bright colors, interesting details and large differences which makes them all great to look at. There are 6 to start with but you can be sure there will be more, and exclusives! I’m definitely liking D.Va in her mech suit, has a hint of the Titanfall 2 POPs. Glam shots and info coming up!

Take off accompanied by your new robot friends with the Mystery Science Theater Funko POPs!

Welcome to part 32 of our London Toy Fair series!

These two interesting figures below are from a classic american tv show called Mystery Science Theater 3000, dating all the way back to 1988! Around the time i was born in fact, so i haven’t really had the pleasure of seeing much of the show. It ran for a quite impressive 11 years which is an incredible feat for any tv show, it even had some minor educational elements though it was mainly for comedy. Do any of you hand fond memories of the show? I wonder. The POPs certainly look interesting, very different body shapes than usual. Crow has much thinner and intricate legs and arms, and Tom has well .. no legs .. so definitely a change from the usual slouched POP form. I will be curious to see what they look like once they are done! Concept shots and info coming up!

10 year already? Celebrate with the upcoming POPs! Gears of War Wave 2 Funko Concept Art right here!

Welcome to part 31 of our London Toy Fair series!

Well just over 10 years technically with the first release of Gears of War being all the way back in November 2006, does that make you feel old? I wonder. Though with the help of re-releases and updated versions a new generation can experience this game, and it’s a pretty fun one. I’ve only played the first one but i remember it being a good one, it does get criticism for not being a smart game though. I’m not too worried about that! As long as it’s fun then it’s good enough for me. What are your thoughts?

One person in the lineup is the original lead character from the game, Marcus Fenix. But now he’s old, and they point that out very subtly by just naming him Old Man Marcus. Probably the best one from the line is Brumak (you can see a shot of his progress here), i think you’ll agree he looks pretty awesome! That’s a fair amount of detail they’re adding. Concept shots and info coming up!

Probably some of the coolest Mystery Minis to date, these are the retro arcade Mystery Minis from Funko. According to the picture each one seems to come inside an arcade cabinet shaped box, that’s a very nice touch. Instead of the typical cube they seem to have designed them in a more original way, what are your thoughts on this? Another thing to mention is that each one has a different design on the box, will this give a hint as to what is inside? It’s unknown yet, it’s possible the design and contents are all random but we will see when they get released. Between the two pictures below there is 13 different minis! So that means there will probably be exclusives, but that seems to be a guarantee nowadays. Glam shots and info coming up!

After previewing the huge lineup of upcoming LOTR POPs yesterday (you can view that article here), we have two more to add to the collection. The last two are almost of the POP variety, just with the Pocket prefix as we have two little guys for you! Frodo and Gandalf in their Keychain form, they look pretty fun! Though i’m not hugely into the Keychains from Funko, i do try and collect the exclusives. One of the main issues is that i’d never really use them, POPs aren’t the most rugged of things so if i had one on my Keychain it would get dirty and or broken pretty quickly. For that reason my Pocket POPs are just sitting pretty in their boxes. What are your thoughts? Glam shots and info coming up!

How long does it take to walk from Bag’s End to Mt. Doom? Find out with the upcoming POPs with the Lord of the Rings Funko Concept Art!

Welcome to part 26 of our London Toy Fair series!

Well to say these will be popular is a understatement, it’s pretty certain that the many concept art you see below is only a small amount of what will be coming. It’s been a long time since Funko originally released the LOTR POPs and they’ve changed their practice’s a lot since then, even the Hobbit films were quite some time ago. I for one am very excited about the prospect! The concept work we have already looks awesome, so it’s hard to pick a favorite. Frodo is an iconic character, the translucent POPs are very cool but i think i have to pick out Balrog for this one. Not only is he a 6 inch POP but it seems he will have a fair amount of detail, and we can’t forget the fire whip!

What are your thoughts about this upcoming line, who are you excited for and who else should they add? Are they missing your favorite character. At the time of writing this people are going crazy trying to get the Chase Eleven POP from Stranger Things, but it does seem Frodo will have a Chase version. I’m already dreading to think how hard it will be to get that, but who knows, maybe Funko will just flood the market with LOTR POPs. We shall see! Concept art and info coming up!
